How To Host a Smaller, More Virtual Thanksgiving by Amy Maoz | |
|
Thanksgiving has always been a holiday of quandaries. How do you cook four main dishes with one oven and a 3pm start time? What’s the best way to change the subject when politics crop up at the dinner table? And why, on this day of all days, are marshmallows considered a perfectly reasonable dinner ingredient?

The Power of Gratitude - Victoria Kindle Hodson & Sura Hart | |
|
Dear Parents, |
|
|
|
|
|
“When we give from the heart, we do so out of a joy that springs forth whenever we willingly enrich another person’s life. This kind of giving benefits both the giver and the receiver. The receiver enjoys the gift without worrying about the consequences that accompany gifts given out of fear, guilt, shame, or desire for gain. The giver benefits from the enhanced self-esteem that results when we see our efforts contributing to
someone’s well-being.” |

What impact does music have on society? Music has the power to culturally, morally, and emotionally influence our society. Thus, the more intentional we become with the sounds, messages, and moods we create and release through our music, the more powerful we will become in making deep positive impacts. |
